Alabama woman’s $3 finishing touch to her zombie Halloween costume got her a terrifying trip to the dentist. Anna Tew’s fake vampire fangs wouldn’t detach from her actual teeth. Anna claims she used the temporary glue that came with the store-bought fake teeth. She said her efforts to remove the teeth, which had grown uncomfortably tight in her mouth, went on until around 2AM. At one point she even took a pair of wire clippers and cut off the tips of the fake teeth.

… Her growing pain led her to search for an emergency dentist who could see her right away. She wound up at Dr. John Murphy’s chair at Alabama Family Dental on Saturday. He said that the natural shape of teeth and gums can sometimes cause a product to get stuck.
